Important notes
- MP cutoffs are published as a single annual closing AIR + NEET Score per category per college, not per-round. Stored as quota=SNAPSHOT and round=SNAPSHOT in the cutoffs table.
- AIIMS Bhopal admits exclusively through MCC AIQ counselling. AIIMS Bhopal seats do NOT participate in DME MP state counselling.
- ESIC Medical College Indore (50 seats, new 2025) has a separate central counselling stream for ESIC IP/IP family quota in addition to general AIQ.
- Madhya Pradesh has India HIGHEST Scheduled Tribe reservation at 20% (compared to typical 6-8% in other states), reflecting the largest tribal population.
- MP has NO Deemed medical colleges. All 14 private colleges are state-quota and route through DME MP counselling.
- MP has NO minority private medical colleges (Christian or Muslim). Unique among large Indian states.
- Government MBBS tuition is Rs. 1,00,000 per year + Rs. 14,000 caution = Rs. 1,14,000 total, uniform across all state govt colleges. 5x higher than Kerala (Rs. 28,950 lump-sum) but still affordable.
